2/6/2020 Vision To provide a platform where players are given the highest quality of training and opportunities. Encourage players to participate on state, regional, and national teams. Villarreal Nebraska Academy develops an environment in which the soccer stars of the future will be nurtured and developed. 5 Soccer For All Ages – It’s A Process Villarreal Nebraska Academy is dedicated to providing consistent, comprehensive and quality development for all of the individual players within our program. We celebrate the successes of our players that continually occur in training sessions, in games, in tournaments, and at home. We structure our academy in a similar manner to a school: we have homework (i.e. skills to refine at home), classroom instruction (i.e. training sessions), and exams (i.e. games/tournaments). Over the past year we have had numerous successes on an individual and a team level. 6 3
2/6/2020 Values Organized sports or team sports teach values and life lessons that young players will use during their childhood and beyond. Discipline: To learn the skills, to put in time and prepare so they maximize their performance. Effort: You need to work hard to improve and reach your true potential. Mentality can make up for natural talent. Commitment: Kids learn that it takes a certain sacrifice to participate and contribute to the team’s performance. Teamwork: Working together as part of groups with a common goal will bring success. Deal with success and failure—Failure is part and it is part of the road to success, dealing with these setbacks is key to accomplish maturity and self-fulfillment. Setting goals: Setting short and long term, individual and group goals will showcase the players that will be more likely to succeed if they are setting goals 7 Reminder of the Membership Philosophy and Objectives The Villarreal Nebraska Academy philosophy is a total soccer developmental curriculum, with an academy structure, and club culture that supports the complete athlete. Imagine what players can achieve with the freedom to develop their unique skill set, that is fostered in a healthy environment. With your acceptance of this offer, you will join the large and growing number of players, parents, coaches, and sponsors who understand that player development should be the main priority of youth sports. We are not focusing so much on team formation or team development, as much as player development: where a player is at, in the curriculum or development/trajectory. 8 4
2/6/2020 Team Formation is Fluid: Goals and Limitations While team formation is a necessity in team sports, current placement, personal development, and growth as a soccer player is always considered and may change throughout the season and as opportunities and developmental needs are presented. That means the players team may change during the season, team placement is fluid, (fees may need to adjust if teams adjust). 9 Developing Players Through a Variety of Experiences The way our curriculum works: we focus on developing players and not necessarily teams, therefore your team is always subject to change. We believe teams are a consequence of players, so we develop good players, and this will give us a chance to make good teams. Every team, competition and training session has a lesson to teach the player and the person. We encourage you to seek out the best in every opportunity presented and find a way to grow in character, grow as a teammate and grow in skill. There are times to lead, times to follow, times to struggle, times to be challenged and times to be a front-runner. Every single situation, you are in, is a time to be an example and grow, that is your responsibility, embrace it. If you don’t like your placement, then we encourage you to work hard and change it, you are in control of your own placement, players place themselves. Please, don't focus on up or down when considering teams, rather putting together players that are like-minded, like-skilled and observing them continuously to ensure quality on the delivery of the curriculum. 10 5
2/6/2020 Jorge’s View on Continual Growth "I was helped by playing up a season and coming back to my age group to display the acquired skills and excel", says Jorge Sambataro. "These different environments provided me with a great deal of confidence and allowed for continual growth, which led to playing pro. I'm very excited about being present at our team's training sessions this coming year. I will have the chance, to have a much closer look at all our players, and I will continue to expect player movement. I’m going to ask you to trust the curriculum and understand that this is exactly what you paid for. I look forward to the upcoming season, to evaluate any player movement needs, at that time." 11 Goals for Spring and Beyond We have goals for player development and team progress. The coaching staff has been evaluating the needs of each group and is working to implement a plan best suited for each group and in some cases individuals. Not all groups have these needs, but some areas to note: Smaller Training Group Sizes, Smaller Coach to Player Ratio Team Tactical Knowledge – Full Team Awareness Variety of Age Group Experiences Exposure to multiple coaches and new coaches Training and/or Playing with a variety of players Expansion/Variety of Competition Experiences 12 6
2/6/2020 Additional Goals for Optimal Progress Like-minded, Like-skilled Age Impacts from 2005 Trapped Age Group, High School and 8 th Grade U10 Players ready and needing advancement to a new program level Players needing to take leadership opportunities Players needing to play their age group or up an age Players need more technical skill or tactical knowledge Players need smaller training group sizes or maybe bigger Players need more touches on the ball in a game setting 13 Many Agree, But Change is Hard We are very excited you have made the decision to join Villarreal Nebraska Academy for the 2019/20 season. There are times that even the best laid plans need adjustments, so we ask that you remain flexible during the season. Teams need all their players committed to the scheduling complexities that come with outdoor sports and with our club philosophies. Why did you join Villarreal Nebraska Academy? We believe that player development should be the main priority of youth sports. 14 7
2/6/2020 What you should Ask Yourself and Ask your Player: Am I looking at the bigger picture? Is your player learning and growing in practice Is your player improving in their game knowledge Is your player learning to see the game to understand Are they recognizing their options Have you asked them? 15 Club Accomplishments: Official Partner Academy of Secured Lincoln Facility 2019-20 Villarreal C.F. – May 3, 2018 Season Private and Dedicated Training 2 Players traveled to Villarreal - Center Spain January 2019 Secured January 2018 4 Players traveled to Villarreal Spain November 2020 Opened March 2018 DOC, multiple WFA Diplomas Groguet Program began March and Villarreal Licenses 2018 All Coaches have or are Founding Member of USSSA working on U.S. Licenses Alliance League began August 2018, regional expansion 1 Futsal Player going to Spain - March 2019 and again March USSSA Futsal – Great Plains Futsal 2020 - Secured presence in Nebraska 2018-19 Season.
